Consulting

Fern Reiss solves problems.

“Fern Reiss helped our company with a book project for six months. She was totally professional and kept our project on schedule and on track. She even did several things that weren’t part of her job description—like getting me and the book a great mention in Forbes Magazine. We highly recommend her.”

— Horst Rechelbacher, Founder, Aveda Cosmetics and Intelligent Nutrients

“Fern’s workshop and consulting helped me develop my ideas to sell books to non-book stores.  With nearly 10,000 copies pre-sold even before the book was printed, the numbers speak for themselves!”

— Stuart Ballan, author of the Magic Pen and Paper series of children’s books

“Fern Reiss does for publishing what Home Depot did for home improvement. Thanks, Fern, for demystifying the publishing process.”

— Paige Arnof-Fenn, CEO, Mavens & Moguls

“You’d think being a pediatrician would make me the perfect expert for an article about boys and reading. But even my twenty-five years of experience working with kids didn't compare to Fern Reiss’s 25 well-chosen words that landed the interview! But the good news is that the Expertizing workshop is a powerful antidote for worn-out words. I am landing many interviews with Fern Reiss's sound advice! Fantastic!”

— Cathryn Tobin, M.D., author of
The Parent’s Problem Solver

“My consultation with Fern boosted my confidence going into BookExpo. She informed me as to what to expect, what I should have on hand at all times (even while waiting in the coffee lines), and how to approach contacts that I would like to meet. Even though I am a small publishing house displaying among the “big guys”, Fern was always positive about my venture.”

— Sharon Debowski, Above the Clouds Publishing

“Something clicked—suddenly I saw every previous query I’d written as too long, too much. I decided to test my new mojo with three journalist leads, and I am now talking to a writer for an article in the Chicago Tribune who responded immediately to my soundbite! It wasn’t even the best one! Woohooo! Thanks again, Fern!”

— Carol Setters, author of Trophy Wives
